Ashley Graham, designer, model, and all around badass, is the reigning queen of body positivity. Since making history last year as the first plus-size model to land the cover of Sports Illustrated’s celebrated swimsuit issue, Graham has used her fame to talk frankly about her figure and expand the definition of beauty to include all sizes and types. (She even has her own thigh gap-less Barbie).

For proof, just look at her latest Instagram, where the America’s Next Top Model judge shows an unfiltered close-up of her figure. “I workout. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I'm in,” she wrote. “And I'm not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite...and you shouldn't be either.”

Graham’s unretouched image includes some skin rolls and a few patches of cellulite – just like the rest of us. It’s something she displays proudly, despite the trolling and criticism she has received on social media. "People come on my page and body shame me because I'm too big, because I'm too small, because I'm not good enough for their standards,” she said on her Instagram last summer. “But at the end of the day I'm good enough for me.”
